I wonder how it feels to make a career of copying U2's style and sound?  It must be cool to be heard on the radio and have people think "Ooh is this U2?  This is really cool."  Idiots. #entertainment

While I don't advocate the imbibing of fermented beverages, I do applaude the use of the pint.  I've been noticing lately that my 12-oz cans of soda just aren't enough.  I eat my lunch and get to the end of the can and wish I had more.  But those 20-oz bottles are no good because they're a little bit too big and they get flat before you're done.  Enter the pint.  The pint is 16 beautiful fluid ounces of goodness.  It's halfway between a 12-oz can and a 20-oz bottle.  I think we're really onto something here, people. #food

Sometimes, I sound somewhat angry on my site.  Some people think I have anger issues.  Obviously these people are IDIOTS!  Kidding.  On a serious note, yes, a lot of my posts are rants about people who annoy me or things I hate.  This is true.  However, sometimes I know I'm not alone in my feelings.  Not that I can justify my actions by saying that everyone else does it, but I seriously think a lot of people have these same feelings but just don't express them.  My method of expression is my website.  It consists of written words; things I would never say in public or do anything about.  Yes, I do share some of my opinions aloud, but I wouldn't act on any of my impulses like shooting cars with paintball guns or yelling at people who play with their cell phones.  So while many of my posts are surprising and offensive, rest assured that this is my means of release, and you won't have to bail me out of jail in the near future. #technology

My mom used to make me ham and mustard sandwiches when I was little.  I wasn't a big fan of American cheese, so that wasn't in the equation.  But after about 695 of these sandwiches, I got sick of them and didn't eat ham again for a long time.  I got into turkey here and there.  Turkey with BBQ sauce is a great sandwich.  But again, I overdid it.  But then I was introduced to this new invention that would rock the world:  honey ham and honey turkey.  Good Lord!  I never tasted anything so good!  It doesn't really taste like it sounds.  It's not likes it's meat covered in honey.  It's more like a hint of honey.  Oh it's awesome.  I'm a huge fan, and I highly recommend it. #food

Isn't it great that the most important financial decisions in our lives are based on our credit score?  Not only is this completely arbitrary number based on things like how many times your credit score has been checked recently, but financial companies use this score in an automated system to decide what to give you and what not to give you.  And if you try to ask a question about it, they completely avoid the issue by saying, "Oh...well, our system shows that your credit score is 697 and we require a score of 700."  You say, "C'mon.  It's 3 points.  3 meaningless points.  Can't you cut me a break?"  And the answer is no.  It's always no.  There's no way to argue a point that's based on a decision that's determined solely by your worthless credit score.  Idiots run the world. #money

I like it when I ruin the system.  Sometimes I go into stores and go directly to the checkout line to get candy and soda.  Checkout line stuff is supposed to lure people into buying it while waiting in line.  I skip that whole part about shopping around and go right to the source.  Somehow I feel that this is my part in the anti-establishment fight for freedom. #business

It must be said.  What's the deal with the term "evangelical"?  Ever since Mr. Bush ran for his second term and split the country in two (just kidding:  it was already split, and this word was used before then), this word has been applied to anyone and everyone who isn't something else.  You're not Catholic?  You're an evangelical.  You're not an abortionist?  You're an evangelical.  Where did this word come from?  Well it turns out that the word isn't new; it just has a new meaning.  To evangelize means "To preach the gospel to" or "To convert to Christianity".  But in our country, it has taken the place of "protestant" and "born-again".  I wonder what other word will come in the future to be the over-used expression that will originally mean "true Christian" but eventually turn into a political view?  I'm thinking "neo-Christian".  Or maybe "prophetic Christian".  Little by little, we take away the meaning of words by injecting them into politics.  Does anyone really know what a liberal is?  No.  We just know it's a non-conservative.  Instead of just ranting about stuff, I'll offer a solution:  destroy politics.  We must say no to this beast before it takes over our country. 

And my other point is this:  I'm a Christian.  I wish that word had a meaning. #religion

I propose that the world stops using acronyms.  They obviously cause more trouble than they're worth.  You can't use acronyms without explaining what they mean.  And if you always explain what they mean, there's no point in using them.  Plus, if you misuse acronyms, you shouldn't be allowed to use them.  I hear this junk all the time.  "We need new NSN numbers."  "Let's finish up that TDP package."  Sometimes I think my co-workers are intentionally misusing acronyms.  "Can you get a new PAN number?"  I don't even know what PAN stands for.  But I have a feeling the N stands for number. #language

Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that the United States Postal Service is a government-sponsored entity?  Based on its history, I guess I can see why it was originally created to be that way.  Our country didn't really have roads or communication, so this helped that.  But these days, it just seems like a slight waste of money to fund a postal service.  But I realize that because it's subsidized by taxpayer dollars, it only costs $0.37 to mail a letter to anywhere in the country.  If it was a private company, it could cost more.  But anyway, what's really funny about the postal service is that they have a section on their website called Setting the Record Straight, where they address and respond to every criticism of the postal system.  They write letters to newspapers, magazines, and TV shows who have portrayed the postal service in an "inaccurate, misleading or false" way.  Watch out, they'll get ya. #psychology

I hate Adobe Acrobat.  Again I ask, why does it take such a big, complicated and annoying program to do a single, simple thing:  read a document?  It's not like it's a word processor.  It's not like it makes videos or translates things into Chinese.  It just reads a simple, uneditable document. 

But now for some useful advice:  if you have Adobe Acrobat Professional and want to get rid of those toolbar add-ins in Microsoft Office, here's what to do:  Open Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Office.  Under each Office application (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) go to Addins - PDFMaker.OfficeAdmin.  Double click LoadBehavior and change the 3 to a 0.  Bingo.  No more stupid annoying toolbar or menu.  The reason you'd want to do this is because big dumb Acrobat makes everything big, dumb and slow.  It slows down Microsoft Office, and that's no good. #technology
